Description
Mosquito control is necessary because of health, recreational, and economic reasons. This insect has plagued man for centuries, causing irritation and spreading disease among both man and animals. Encephalitis is one of the diseases mosquitoes spread. Annoyance by mosquitoes causes livestock to lose weight and reduces milk production. Although other types occur in South Dakota, the most abundant species are Aedes vexans and Culex tarsahs.
